Are you an advertising sales gun with experience dealing with agencies and bigger businesses? Do you live in or have good local knowledge of the New England and North Coast of NSW? Do you want to bank with uncapped commission?
We're looking for you.
We are a fearless
independent media company
and committed to delivering a real news service that asks the hard questions, tells the real story, and being a genuine Fourth Estate force in the best parts of the world. Really.
After two years we are now the number 1 news site in the New England region, and will soon be starting up a second masthead on the North Coast of NSW. That means that we need to ramp up the sales both in New England, and develop an entirely new customer base on the North Coast.
We're looking for equally fearless sales people who love our communities as much as we do to join the team, and help us stretch beyond small local clients to a revenue more reflective of our value.
Role Description
This is a contract commission-only role for an experienced and ambitious advertising sales professional, preferably with experience dealing with agencies. We are offering a very generous incentive structure that will see you earn on the first ad sold and potential OTE of mid six figures, and trailing commissions for up to 12 months.
You will be responsible for establishing and managing relationships with major clients and advertising agencies, booking advertising, and building the book. Day-to-day tasks will include communicating with potential and existing clients and agencies, pitching and closing sales, and developing strategic plans to drive advertising sales. The role requires a proactive approach to identify new business opportunities, implement new systems as we expand, and increase our client base.
We will back you with strong sales admin support and a great product to sell. The only limit is on your ability to sell.
Its a remote role so can be based anywhere, but somewhere in the North Coast or New England is strongly preferred so that you can manage major clients on a face to face basis.
Applicants from other countries will not be considered. And if you're not a local, we'll know, so don't bother.
Immediate start available for the right candidates.
What we are looking for
* Strong advertising sales background, including lead generation
* Experience dealing with advertising agencies
* Good understanding of digital advertising and tools
* Excellent Communication and Customer Service skills
* Ability to work independently and remotely
* Strong local knowledge of the New England, North Coast or both.
